When I first registered to vote in 1977, I registered as a Democrat. I have voted for very few Republicans during my life, preferring the platform of the Democratic party. Well really, I am very liberal. Much more liberal than most Democrats in power. Last night as I watched the Democratic National Convention (C Span, no talking heads) I was overcome by pride in my party. I would never have believed as I watched Ronnie Reagen sworn in, that only 28 years later a major American political party would nominate an African American for the Presidency of the United States of America.
Regardless of all else going on, to me this re-affirms that the American Dream is alive and well in America.
Go Obama.
